Jacket Brands are the companies and labels behind the coats, parkas, and shells people rely on for warmth and protection outdoors. Some started as small workwear or military suppliers over a century ago, like Frye, which began as a boot maker back in 1863 before becoming known for leather jackets. Others grew out of specific subcultures, from surf shops to motocross tracks, and turned that identity into a recognizable style.
